The C6 Vette pull was decent, but that vid sucks. 2 second pulls from the IS's "sweet spot" in the gear they most like to be in is not really as impressive as your average race vid we are used to seeing.

I definately say the IS is fast and has been built well, but a pull from the sweet spot for 3 or 4 seconds and then quitting is no race. cars like the C6 will be all over that IS after the 3 or 4 second barrier for the IS to get out of their favorite gear. It's well known that 40-50mph is where the IS does it's dirty work.

All I saw were pulls from the IS sweet spot, no races there. show me some races where the IS has to depend on more than one good gearing spot.
